Well this whole situation just got a lot more interesting...This morning there were a number of reports of disgruntled Auburn assistants' families who criticized the way that Auburn handled the the "resignation" of head football coach Tommy Tuberville. Donna Dunn, the offensive line coach's wife, called a sports talk radio show and said her husband found out from a recruit that he was visiting that he no longer had a job.
Amy Enzminger, wife of offensive coordinator said her husband was on a recruiting trip in Maryland. They both strongly criticized the administration for their handling of the situation.
Tuberville's momma even stepped in the ring for her son and told the local paper the he was indeed fired and did not resign.
Things have gotten pretty interesting now. Apparently Auburn AD Jay Jacobs said the decision was entirely Tommy's and that he had his job if he had wanted to stay. Which does make more sense because it seemed unjustifiable to fire him but that is beside the point. Jacobs said that Tuberville did this because he thought it was best for his family. Although ESPN also reports that Tuberville:
"believed he did not have the support of certain members of the Auburn Board of Trustees -- and therefore the full support of the Auburn administration."
This situation is getting interesting. I mean no matter what Tommy Tuberville is not the coach at Auburn. The question in this saga is what the hell happened? And who is the next coach at Auburn?[Deadspin]

Yeah, when you heard Auburn's AD talking about it he portrayed like he and the Pres were begging Tommy to stay. That may be true, but there was probably a large portion of boosters or big shots that wanted him out!
P.S. My word verification is "potisv" Is that when you test positive for smoking the lovely ganja?
